LAW INTELLIGENCE. COPRT OF CHANOEII7,NYARCII 7. THU PRINC7Ss,,oF WALLS V. THE PAHL OF LIVERPOOL. AND COUNT MUNSTER, EXECUTORS UNDER TUE NvILL OF THE DUKE uF fuiNswicK. It will.be recollected, that a few days ago an appliCation was made to the Court on the pint of the defendants, that her Royal' highness might he - ordered to firoduce,an,asubmit to their 'hispec two ieittuments purporting to be two pry. missory notes, drawn in . Augnsf, 1816, by the Lite Dike Brnokswielt, in fa , our,of her Royal . Highness, the one for the snni of 15,0001. pay ni)!e in English money, and the other payable in _French rnoney to the amount of 15,000 loni , d'ors.„ A re-hearing of the parties in the suit was fixed for this day. The SOLICITOR-GENE RAL was beard at much length in support of the motion of the defendants for the inspection of ,these instruments. iHe founded his motion on the affidavit of Count Munster, stating that her Royal,. Highness the Princess of Wales had filed. her bill in this Court against him and the Earl of Liverpool, as ex ecutors of the Duke of Brunswick, to recover the amount of. the money contained in the instru ments in question ; and further stating, that having, been called upon to put in his answer to the kill, he could not safely do so, or prepare a defence to the suit of her Royal Highness, unless . hebad a, previous inspection of the instruments . all,ged to have been L iven by the late,Duke to her Royal Highness. The principle upon which. this application was made—by motion upon affi davits, rathei.than by a cross bill for a discovery .—was, that if the defendants filed a cross bill, they uould in the due and ordinary course of practice be compelled to put in their answer to the hill of her Royal Highness before they could have the benefit of her Royal Highnesa's answer to their hill. -The Learned Solicitor adverted, to several cases at law, for the purpose of showing by analogy, that the' . principle upon which he sought 'to have the present discovery on motion, had been adopted and acted upon by the Judges of Courts of Law on a variety of occasions, and particularly referred to an opinion of Lord Chief Justice Mansfield upon this point. He urged that the inspection of these instruments was of the utmost consequence to the defendants, previous to filing the answer to the bill of her Royal High ness. 'there was Much. obscurity in the transac-. t ion : the whole affair wasinvolvedin notch mystery. There were two promissory 'notes given by the. Noble Duke, both bearing interest ; both nearly for the same sum, and both drawn,and dated in • the'month of August,. 1816 : and it was impor- tant for the defendants to know whether the in strumehts had been drawn in, Paris, Vienna,, or `London. Jr was now a dmitted that two instru ments were in existence ; but "what would be the consequence it the defendants were driven to their cross bill ? The plaintiff might then, if it were found to he her interest, tot Elly, abandon one of the instruments, or it might not be in.ex istence : and 'Where was the remedy of the ex ecutors) He submitted, therefore, that this mo tion, under 'the peculiar circumstances of the, case, ought to he 'entertained- by the Court. Sir A PrOOOTT folloWed on the same side. Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY, 00 behalf of her [loyal HighnesS the Princess of Wales - , shortly answered the arguments of the Solicitor-General. Such an applica!ion as the present.„ he said, had rep e atedly been made; Ittrt none, as far as his reeollectOm served, with success. The same topics hail twenty times been repeated. He Mt billy persuaded that 110 circumstance but the high dignity of the par ties v. ho were defendants in this suit could have induced his Learned Friendsro have risketbsuch'a lie was assured his'Lordship would in this case divest his mind .ot every consideration fou n d e d upon th e illustrious rank of the contend ing parties, and would decide upon the same prin ciples as if, instea4l of the plaintiff being her Royal Highness the Princess of ‘ll 7 ales, she had been Sarah Smith, br any other obseure indivi dnal. IA is Learned Friends must have been aware that where a defendant, in a suit of equity, want ed' the inspection of a document, in older to enable him to put in his answer, and that such document was in the possession of the plaintiff, the-uniform course was to file a cross bill, calling upon the ‘plaintiff to produce ii. His experience had not furnished hint with an, instance where .a different mode of obtaining a sight. of a doeurtLent required Try a defendant had been successfully reiotted to; and it such an application could prevail, it would b a violation of the established practice of the Court for ages : the precedent, he considered, would be dangerous in the extreme; and therefore he was well persuaded his "Lordship would tate a long while before he gave it his sanction.— __ Fie was at a loss to conceive What difficulty the ,Earl of Liverpot.l could have to putting in an an t swer ; he had not tbinight proper to file any affi davit alleging a reason ; it was the other defen dant, Count Munster, only, who hut filed an af fid-avit.. He could not suppose that the conscience of a Prime Ministel was more than that of another man, and his Lordship could hare no sufficient reason for desitiug,to see the securities which,, in his capacity of executor, he. was called upon to dis tt.arge... The application being of a novel and nti‘,reeedented nature; .would ? be trusted, be re jec.ed by his Lordship. . • MARTIN, lIPLL, and Me. SHAMVELL, followed on the same side. This was simply the 'case of a bill filed by a plaintiff', sruting himself to be a creditor of the testator, from whose exe— cutors she sought to recover payment of the debt due to her, and she set forth the securities on what the demand was founded. The Learned Counsel conceived it to be of little consequence to the defendants to know precisely at what place these instruments were drawn. The knowledge of this fact could not affect their validity ; and all that conkd possibly be•requited was to have it as certained, that 'a. valuable consideration was given by her Roy:11 Highness ; of.thiS fact, in due time, ample proof would be laid before the Court: The more important this case was by reason of . the il lustrious personages concerned, So Much the greater circumspection oughtio be, used by his Lordship; in taking care that the regirlar . pract ice of the Court was observed, The defendants thigbi easily obtain the discovery they wanted, without the violation of any principle. If they filed a moss bill, they might pat any crestion to her Royal Ilit.;line - ss on the subject of her securities, and the consideratiqn she gave for them, which the ferti lity of f:anc•y e0,,1.1 invent Mr. SOLICITOB-CiENERAL:III reply, i said he was quire . sf , re that, in the pr esen t case , nstiev . would be impaiti4lly administered ; and the Princess of ‘Vales . being plaiff!ia . , and the Prime Minister de fendant, would Weigh little his Lordship's Mind. 1-laoply they were litigating in . a.cOuntry" where justice was admiuistered, wilhout regard to the rank of'the p'arties. This Ka d been treated,as a novel application ; ktod yet it had been observed hy Sir Samnyl Romillv, in the course of his argu ment, that he had heard the,satne topics twenty times repeated; if he had heard them so often re 'pealed, it was at iens:t proof that the..application could not be very novel in its nature. Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY said, he had heard them twenty titt►es repeated, but never with success. SOLICITOR:GgeNERAL con,te►tded - that the principle on which had made the motion was a very plain one ;, it was situp)) , that the inspection of the instruments might atrord the defendants those Means of defence which they could not have without it. Ile had presented the case to his Lordship, and-was fully confident would be d. , ; cided upon the same just anti unerr►ng principles as it it involved the interests ()idle most obscure persons in the country, instead of persons of the most elevated rank. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that he hoped in this case, as well as in every other, he should de cide .with strict and impartial justice,- He had nothing to do . with those who came t u tu that Court but to - consider them as plaintiff and de -te► This was at:bill .filled . by the Princess of Wales against two persons tvlio were executors of the Onke of Bruns wiek..and it was filed to obtain payment out of the assets of the Doke of Bruns wick, of two bills which hail been Oven by him to her Royal •Highness, .The defendants stated, they had advised that it was material to them tb insist on her Royal Highness's 'demand being made out in the first instance by the -produc tion of the bills. He'held,it his duty to dispense the same meaure of justice as -he should do be tween othet parties. It was a case of very great im portance with reference to (he practice of, thcCourt, as well as to the parties themselves. lie should say butlittle on the subject now, as it was . his inten tion to give a final judgment on a tuttrre day. His Lordship remarked, that in courts of law it had been the practice of ages to insist • upon having : a protest of a specialty. Speaking with deference to the opinion of such a man as Lord Mansfield, he said that that learned Judge did not appear to him to have recollected what a Court of Equity would have done upon the questions to which he had referred ; and his Lordship added, that- the cases at law did not, as he - apprehended, apply to the present case, • The present case could be decided only .tvith reference to the practice of that Court. There might be particular exceptions to gene ral rules of practice ; but then . care 'must" be •taken that the Court should be satisfied the ex . - ception "did actually exist. It became him, therefore, With reference to all those rules by tillicb the production of instruments was etiforced,, to . recollect What it was those rides required. The bill stated that a double security had been given forahe same sum. It - would. •be necessary-here after, when the answer was filed, to look at the bill, in order to see what the bill said ; but as the auswer was not put in,and as the defendants-alleged they could not put it in without the previous pro duction of the instruments,- he must look at the affidavit on which flit pre s ent motion was ground-% ed, to see that it stated a cause forming an excep- . lion to the general rule of practice. He should read the papers, eip d look at some of the notes lie , had taken as the argument had proceeded, and would deriver himself orr this .subject on Tuesday next. The Court was extremely crowded to bear this motion. POISONUSG FIVE YOUNG WOMEN: HATTON-GARDEN.—Sotwday Thomas Dawson, Charles Goodivill, Sainuel Renton, and Thomas. Boutler, four young men, bet vre.&tt twenty and twenty-two years of age, were brought up ill the custody of William Read, jun. and William ISTain— wright, officers, and put to the bar, charged by - Mr. Michael' landlord of the Greyhound, Henrietta-street, Brunswiek 7 square, with intus :ing and mixing some deadly- poison in some per. ter, and giving it. to drink to Sarah Morgan, Sa , rah Woudham, Betsy Fox, Jane Griffiths, and Jane Tucker, five young women, with intent to deprive them . of life. The 'comphililant deposed, that he is . landlord 61' the Greyhound public house, Henrietta-street, Brunswick-square, and is likewise a brush-manufaCturer ; that, the above five named young women worked for him in a workshop in the tipper part of a house situated in an adjoining Mews ; that the two firstnamed pri soners are gentlemen's servants, and the other two journeymen brush-makers, ,who worked for ano ther person in the same mews ; that about twelve o'clock that forenoon,- one of the two first tromed prisoners eam,e , to his house for a pot of porter, , which complainant drew into a clean Rot - ; that after taking, the chill off he carried' away , the beer, and Meeting the other three prisoners,, they drank better than half of it;• after which the prisoner, Samuel Renton, ton!, the 'remainder to the above five young women, ,and which they drank between them. -The prisoners returned to the complainant's house, where they sat down and had some refreshment, They had not been long there, when a messenger came and informed themt that the 5 young women were stretched on the•floor in the room in which they worked, lying in the agonies of death, Witness hastened Lo them immediately, and found them as described ; one -was in strong convul sions, black in the' face, and foaming at, the. month ; a second speechless; and apparently in a dying state ; and the other three stretched by them or. the floor, suffering excruciating Witness sent immediately for Dr. Darling-, 'of'`A), Brunswick-square, who came and administered the necessary medicines; but finding their case very dangerous, he deemed it proper to have fur ther advice, and three other Medical Gentlemen were caned in, all of whom agreed in opinion that I their lives were in imminent danger,'and that they could not give the smallest hopes tif the recovery of either, and that their opinion was, that they laboured under the effects of som 7 deadly poison, ,and nor from julep, oil • or, Spanish flies, or.alq similar things that might be adMinistered to them , for any base purpose. COmplainatit, tinder all thes'e circumstances, caused the prisoners, to he taken into custody, and brought to trial. The prisoners were asked by the Magistrate, Mr. SeLLotv, if they wished to say airy thing'in their defence; on which a controversy took place between two of the prisoners:. One, a Gentle- Inan's servant, said that he seas sent by, the two brush-makers to the complainant's house lor a pot of beer; when he got it,. he took the chill off, arid returned with the beer to the two brush makers ; they made him arid his companion, the other servant, drink ;• they swallowed about a pint of it ; and the prisoner, : Samuel Renton, a brosh,maker, carried the remainder to the young women. This prisoner declared that there could he no poisonous ingredients in the beer when Ike arid his companion drank, as, if there harfbeen, they would have been, as much affected as the women. The prisoner, Samuel Renton, said that there must have been something in the .beer which was improper when it waS giver, to him by the person who 'brought it, for that he drank of the beer before Ire gave it to theyoung women, and that he foUnd himself very much affecteAl, and not able to go to work. i Gentleman, who happened to be present in the tap-room when the two brush-Makers were apprehended, stated, that he heard the prisoner Renton say to 'lris comna nion, the other brush-maker, , ''''"Push—no't a word—keep close, and - they can do nothing." At seven o'clock on Saturday' evening;, Mr. Riley, the complainant, accompanied by Mr. Boughtou, surgeon, of 46; Hunter -street, Bruns wick-s4riare, arid some other.G.entlemen, attend ed, when the Alagistrate put the following ques tions to Mr. 'Riley : Magistrate.—Mr. Riley, how long after the ?ot of beer was taken from your hou,e was it before the girls complained I—About a quarter of an hour. Nl4gistrate.—Did you examine the pot to see if it contained any sediment ?—The pot was taken' back to my house,. and left on the bar, before 1' heard of their being rtwell ; and I then loAed fur the pot, and found it had' been just filled up. for another person : lest there should be any left, Ltook the beer and spilled it in the street. Mr. 'Edward Brong h ton, the surgeon, was call- . ed forward and asked—ls it your opinion'that it, was arsenic or any other deadly poison that was infused in the beer ?—lt .is not ; +tie symptoms were not alike,,but it .mustbave,been some vio; lent stimulus, such as cantharides, tartar emetic, or sulphar de lingua, &c. Nagiitrate—For what purpose could canths rides be given ?--It would prodnce an excitement of the system. Magistrate.—What is . your opinion of their present state ; are they out of danger ?—Doctor Darling - and I visited them not long since, and we are both of opinion that three of them will re cover; but as f6r Betty Fox and Jane•Griflith, they are still in such a dangerous state, .that it an inflammation of the stomach was to follow, death must ensue ; consequently, we are both of opinion, that they are not out of danger. The offenders, who were already in prison ; and not present at this period, were ordered to stand committed for further examination, when the tate of the'unforttmate girls is decided either one way or the other.
